Between September to December 2016, Global Positioning System (GPS Pathtrack) data loggers were attached to breeding northern rockhopper penguins during the three distinct stages of the nest-attendance part of their breeding cycle; incubation, brood-guard and creche, on Nightingale (37 deg 25'S, 12 deg 28'W; 4 km2) and Inaccessible (37 deg 17'S, 12 deg 40'W; 14 km2) Islands. This tracking data successfully augments and complements existing data sets for the species breeding in the South Atlantic, which enables systematic identification of areas of particular relevance for this species, and thus to help determining whether there is a need to improve marine spatial planning in form of e.g. Marine Protected Areas in the island's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin (grant DPLUS 053), 2016 - 2018.

Geolocators (Global Location Sensing - GLS) were attached to northern rockhopper penguins breeding on Nightingale Island (37 deg 25 S, 12 deg 28 W: 4 km2) with the aim to study the species' dispersal in the inter-breeding period, 2017. This data successfully augments and complements existing datasets for the species breeding on Nightingale Island and enhances understanding of the species' distribution at sea throughout their annual cycle. There are four different data types for each penguin a) the unprocessed light sensor data, b) the unprocessed activity (wet/dry) data, c) the unprocessed temperature data and d) the estimated positions using the BAStag and SGAT packages in R. Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin (grant DPLUS 053), 2016 - 2018.

This dataset comprises the breeding success of 100 northern rockhopper penguins at Nightingale Island (37 deg 25 S, 12 deg 28 W: 4 km2), Tristan da Cunha in 2016. The data provides information on nests throughout the breeding season. This information supports the ongoing conservation work at Tristan. Data were collected by project personnel as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin (grant DPLUS 053), 2016 - 2018.

Temperature depth devices (TDR) were attached to northern rockhopper penguins breeding on Nightingale Island (37 deg 25'S, 12 deg 28'W) to investigate temporal differences in diving behaviour throughout the species' breeding cycle. The data sets comprise the unprocessed pressure and temperature data for each bird in .csv format. Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin (grant DPLUS 053), 2016 - 2018.

Three hundred adult northern rockhopper penguins, Eudyptes moseleyi, and 100 chicks were implanted with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags in the breeding season 2016/17, and 130 adults in 2017/18 on Nightingale (37 deg 25'S, 12 deg 28'W). To monitor annual survival two automated PIT readers were installed on each of the main pathways penguins use to commute between the sea and their colonies. There are two files comprising a) the list of PIT tags implanted and b) the reader crossings during from September 2016 to January 2018. Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin (grant DPLUS 053), 2016 - 2018.

Plot-scale percent cover of all plant species recorded between October and December 2019 in 360 1 x 1 m quadrats within two burnt areas of the 2019 Flow Country Wildfire and nearby unburnt control areas and within three additional historic burnt site with recorded wildfires in 1997, 2000 and 2011 respectively and their respective adjacent unburnt controls. At each site, quadrats were located in both “open” and “drain” plots to reflect the potential impact of artificial drainage on vegetation/fire response. For the sites within the footprint of the 2019 wildfire, fire damage data were also collected, only in burnt sites.

This dataset contains time series observations of land surface-atmosphere exchanges of sensible heat (H) and latent heat fluxes (LE), together with supporting meteorological and soil physics data obtained at six eddy covariance (EC) flux tower monitoring sites located across England and Wales. The flux monitoring sites include three croplands (two on peat, one on mineral soils), one grassland on peat, one lowland fen under conservation management, and a relatively intact upland raised bog. Data collection started in January 2023 and ended in January 2024, except for one site in Wales which ended in December 2023. Vegetation data was also collected and consist of manual measurements of canopy height, leaf area index , and biomass. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability.

This dataset contains the imagery for one time-lapse camera installed at a Southern giant petrel, Macronectes giganteus, colony at Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of Southern giant petrels at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2016-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island. This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

The colony size and breeding success of Southern giant petrels (Macronectus giganteus) on Signy Island has been monitored annually since 1996. The data presented here includes the number of breeding pairs (occupied nests) and the number of chicks present in their nests prior to fledging. Breeding pairs and chicks are monitored by direct counts at nine sites on the west coast of the island. The nest surveys are undertaken from December to January, with chick counts completed in mid-March. This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

This dataset captures annual measurements of body mass for Adelie penguin chicks at Signy Island, from 1997 until 2020. Between 50 and 100 chicks are measured on beaches immediately prior to their departure, with 3-5 weighing sessions carried out annually per species in the period before fledging is complete. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island. This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.
